Instead of coming up with my own half-assed opinion about wide receiver Mike Williams quitting the Syracuse football team, ESPN’s Todd McShay did it for me.
McShay says it perfectly about Mike Williams
Here’s what he had to say for a story on Syracuse.com:
“There’s real serious concerns about him from a maturity standpoint, a mental toughness standpoint and handling everything that takes to be successful in the NFL,” McShay said. “Everyone has talent in the NFL. A lot of cases, it comes down to whether you’re mentally or physically tough enough to play at the next level. If you have a guy that wasn’t tough enough or mature enough to handle academics and mature enough to finish out the season …if he just quit because he was frustrated, it can significantly hurt him.”
McShay goes on to somewhat intimate what happened with Williams might help the case of Oregon’s LaGarrette Blount who stayed in school while being suspended.
